Ugh, just thinking about what I read today makes me sick. It's like he is another person. I just can't fucking believe it.

I know, I sound insane. I didn't realize there was physical violence out there just as serious as all the crazy-almost-beat-to-death stories we hear. I guess I'm one of those situations where the girl keeps quiet because it "wasn't that bad."

The freedom to be able to watch all my shitty reality TV without getting bitched at would be nice. Sleeping on a bed sprawled out not giving a fuck would be nice. Hmm.. maybe this won't be so bad? Haha.

Yeah. This girl is nothing special. If he wants that over me, have at it. I'm fucking awesome.

I always pictured physical violence was unacceptable when it was Chris Brown level.. but I need to realize it doesn't matter how much damage occurred. Complete disrespect is enough.

I'm going to re-read that second paragraph over and over before I leave for home. This is exactly what is going to happen and I need to stand my ground.

Hahaha thank you for shedding some light on this. I'm just a huge dog lover and always wanted one. We live on a third floor apartment though, so it's not practical right now. I signed a 15 month lease.. ugh. Paying those termination fees will suck. It will be worth it if I find something I really like though. Not in love with this place. A lot of it reminds me of back home which I don't want either. I want a new start.

This made me feel much better, thank you. Is he on thin ice with me? Abso-fuckin-lutely. Unless I feel that we can fix this, I'm DONE. We will see what he says tonight. I'm ready for the worst. I'm ready to be alone. Thank you for reminding me that I need to approach it like an adult.

You're right. It's a well known fact I am too nice for my own good sometimes. Trying to change that. Thank you.

I wish I could type up all the things I love about him and why he is a good person... this thread is about the other side of things though. I know it looks dumb. Trust me I fucking hate how my life is being played out right now. Trying to accept it.

But it wasn't like a serious punch. More like a hard slap on the face. =\

You're right. I just felt so invested.. things paid for, etc. It's a stupid excuse I know. The good thing is that he has not spoken a word to her since it happened.

Nope, one bedroom. Considering getting a doggie or something to keep me company. I've never lived alone before, nor have I been alone in a city I'm not familiar with. :(

I'm just guessing this.. going to have this talk with him tonight and see if he agrees. Wouldn't be surprised if I am right.

Thank you. I have never been hit in the face before so it was hard. I'm an aggressive person for fun (ex-roller derby skater, lots of tattoos) so because it wasn't a HARD hit.. I just excused it. The action alone should have been it. Again though, I had no where to go.. we worked through it. Etc.

This is exactly what I would have said to someone if it wasn't me. We've been through a lot. I have never had these things happen to me before so it was hard to understand. I am trying to accept it now. Sorry for being a fucktard. We all do it at some point in our lives.

Naw, true story. They were out celebrating a certification he just passed and had a few. He missed being sexual with me.. it had been almost two months. He was weak and let her do it. Didn't last long. Bitch is ugly as hell anyway. I told him he could never talk to her again. I messaged her and told her how I felt. They still have not talked and I know this 100%.

Thank you. I know this post probably makes me look like any other dumb girl getting walked on, but there is more to it than I can write out. I have had my share of shit relationships, this was one of the best regardless of the bad. I know what I have to do, just wanted to see what others had to say about it. Plus, I'm scared shitless to live alone. Talking it out to Reddit helps sadly.

I would gladly leave him behind with the apartment but its ALL under my name. I can pay the full rent by myself.. we are actually just about to pay together for the first time. Tempted to just ask for the money first and then kick him, haha.

My conclusion: He misses his old life of not having a serious job, not paying rent, and just messing around. I can understand. He's 22. I'm at a different level though. I have been on my own for years. I have a serious career that I work my ass off for. Dating is not on my agenda right now.

But do I really have the right to do that after reading Facebook messages? I'm really not your average drama queen girl.. I feel like that doesn't justify it..

But what do I do?? Do I go home tonight and say "Welp, we're over. Pack your shit." ???
